    Chapter 16 Psychological Disorders
    This video is about an injured/retired solider living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It is interesting to see the true aftermath of being in the service and the huge amount of soldiers who have this disorder. Also how the group therapy helps them.

  4. Chapter 5: Sensation

    This is a cute little video that describes very well sensation. It also describes in detail (and pictures! :D) about the five senses. I just think this video describes the entire chapter fairly well; the only thing that was kind of a hassle was the reading, since there is no speaker. But hey! it is a cute, little video. :)

  6. Chapter 4: Development
    This video describes Piaget's stages of cognitive development and describes how children assimilate and accommodate existing schemas to fit new experiences.

    (PS: Although the narrator claims there are 3 main stages to cognitive development, she does describe all 4 as we learned them in the book. -Sensorimotor, pre-operational, concrete operational, and formal operational)

  10. Chapter 1 Statistics
    Basically, the main fault many people make is that correlation implies causation. This is most clearly NOT the case. Correlation only gives strength, direction, and degree of association. Nowhere does correlation mean causation. This video goes over some key points of this argument.

  11. Chapter 9: Memory
    This video is of a lecture given at the University of Essex. The lecturer defines memory, and then offers a broader, more general definition of memory. She also outlines the sequence through which memories are encoded, and explains each type of memory (iconic, echoic).
    Watch up to 4:30.

  12. this video explains chapter 13 emotion. it helps explain in better detail the three different types of theories of emotion. the video is done by a group of college students but their analogies for each theory is really helpful to tell which is which if you are unsure!

    Chapter 12: Motivation and Stress

    AsapSCIENCE! Can Stress Actually Kill You?
    The video talks about stress: biologically, our body is altered when stress so we may react properly, but psychologically, we can lose control of the on and off switch when dealing with too many stressors. So when stress used to be extremely helpful when running away from bears when we, as hunters and gatherers, intruded their territory, it would be beneficial for our survival. But now, we stress over everything, from break-ups to finances, so we can live while swimming in stress, causing major distress and even death.

  14. Chapter 5: Sensation
    This video explains how humans see in color. It describes how frequencies of
    light are perceived, how three cones send signals to the brain so the full color
    spectrum is perceived, and why no color is processed in the dark.

  15. Chapter 8: Learning
    This video discusses the difference between Classical Conditioning and Operant Conditioning. It helps me identify the two types of learning that are discussed in Chapter 8. This video is very helpful and explains both types of learning thoroughly.
